Patent EP-1341044-A2 (EP)
Inventor: VAN ENGELEN GERARD
IPC: G03F9/00
Filed: 1996-04-29
Abstract: A lithographic device comprising a mask table (5), a projection system (3), a
substrate table (1) which is displaceable relative to the projection system (3) by
means of a drive unit (21), and a measuring system (39) for measuring a position of
the substrate table (1) relative to the projection system (3). A stationary part (157) of
the drive unit (21) is fastened to a machine frame (85) of the lithographic device,
while a stationary part (51, 53, 55) of the measuring system (39) is fastened to a
reference frame (89) of the lithographic device which is dynamically isolated from
the machine frame (85) by means of dynamic isolators (95). In this way it is
prevented that vibrations caused in the machine frame (85) by reaction forces of the
drive unit (21) are transmitted to the reference frame (89), so that the accuracy of the
measuring system (39) is not adversely affected by such vibrations. In a special
embodiment of the lithographic device, the mask table (5) is displaceable relative to
the projection system (3) by means of a further device unit (31) having a stationary
part (119) fastened to the machine frame (85), and the measuring system comprises a
further stationary part (71, 73, 75) for measuring a position of the mask table (5)
relative to the projection system (3), said further stationary part (71, 73, 75) being
fastened to the reference frame (89). In a further embodiment of the lithographic
device, the projection system (3) is also fastened to the reference frame (89). In a yet
further embodiment of the lithographic device, a guide (111) along which the mask
table (5) is guided and a guide (145) along which the substrate table (1) is guided are
also fastened to the reference frame (89).

Abstract: An image forming apparatus including a cleaning
device for removing toner, paper dust and other impurities
left on an image carrier after image transfer with a
cleaning member is disclosed. The cleaning member
contacts the surface of the image carrier with variable
pressure and remains, about the time when the image carrier
stops moving after image formation, in contact with the
surface with pressure lower than pressure capable of
scrapping off the impurities. Before movement for image
formation, the image carrier is driven in a reverse
direction opposite to a forward direction assigned to
image formation, stopped, and again moved in the forward
direction and then in the reverse direction at least one
time.

Abstract: An electric motor includes a housing (11a) and a circular stator (12). The housing
has an inner circumferential surface (25a). The housing also has a first predetermined
thermal expansion coefficient. The housing further has an elastic part (25d). The stator
core (16) is pressed to an inside of the housing by tight fit, The stator core has an
outer circumferential surface (16c). The stator core also has a second predetermined
thermal expansion coefficient that is different from the first predetermined thermal
expansion coefficient. A void (32) is defined between the inner circumferential surface
and the outer circumferential surface so as to prevent the inner and the outer
circumferential surfaces from contacting each other in a circular region. When the
housing and the stator core expand or shrink so as to tightly fit each other due to
a differential between the first and second predetermined thermal expansion
coefficients, the elastic part (25d) corresponding to the void (32) is elastically deformed.

Abstract: Conventionally, when a multimedia data processing section that has become a component is taken out of a database, it is necessary that the multimedia data processing section is taken out of the database once and a condition determination of this multimedia data processing section and other multimedia data processing sections is performed, and the problem is that a search for a multimedia data processing section is thus time consuming. According to the present invention, not only the body of a multimedia data processing section (130), but also a function entry (120) of a function (140) that performs a condition determination of the multimedia data processing section (130) is registered with a database (101), so that when a search for the multimedia data processing section (130) is performed, the function entry alone is taken out first and a condition determination is performed, and, only when it suits the purpose, the body of the multimedia data processing section (130) is taken out. By this means, search time for the multimedia data processing section (130) can be reduced.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for characterising a document are described, particularly for
the recognition, organisation or relating of documents, for which purpose a series of
statistical properties of the text in the document is determined. A list of words occurring
in the document is determined and a frequency of occurrence is determined for each
word in the list. The series is then built up of pairs respectively of one word from the list
and the frequency of that word, the series forming a semantic snapshot of the
document. The semantic snapshot is used for comparing documents with one another
or for comparing with a semantic snapshot of a specific area of attention or subject, so
that the relevance of the document to that subject is determined.

Abstract: A fuel injector for an internal combustion engine includes a valve needle (14)
having a first surface which is engageable with a valve needle seating to control
fuel flow between a delivery chamber (20) and an outlet and a high pressure
supply passage (22) for supplying fuel at high pressure to the delivery chamber
(20). A thrust surface of the valve needle (14) is exposed to fuel pressure within
the delivery chamber (20) such that a force is applied to the valve needle (14) to
urge the needle away from the valve seating. The injector also includes a
pressure chamber (32) in communication with the high pressure supply passage
(22) which is defined, in part, by a surface associated with the valve needle (14)
at an end thereof remote from the outlet, and means (34, 40; 22, 56, 48, 54) for
generating a variable difference in fuel pressure between the delivery chamber
(20) and the pressure chamber (32) in dependence upon the rate of increase of
fuel pressure within the high pressure supply passage (22), thereby to provide a
variable nozzle opening pressure at which the valve needle is caused to lift from
the valve needle seating to initiate injection.
